Indian rugs – the history and science of rugs

Indian rugs combine vibrant colours and intricate patterns to create true masterpieces of craftsmanship. These ornate rugs are the perfect decoration for any room and will add an exotic charm and elegance to your home. Rugs from India regularly win awards for their exquisite designs as they shine with the most exotic and creative innovations. Moreover, a large number of rugs are nowadays being forged in India which are in the best value for money. That is why rugs from India are highly appreciated by our customers.

Special features of Indian rugs – rugs from India are more specific to Western tastes. They are a subtle and welcoming answer to their distinctive originals. Their pile tends to be slightly higher and softer. The colours are chosen to be harmonious and coherent. Their price/performance ratio is also very interesting. They are slightly cheaper than their Persian models, yet they last at least as long in daily use. A lifespan of several decades is not unusual, as their wool and warp are superbly crafted. The price, beauty and durability ratio is matched by few other rugs.

Rugs from India – unique pieces rich in tradition in Persian colours and patterns

Oriental rug making has a long history in India. During the Moghul Empire of India in the 16th century, the art and culture of weaving genuine rugs according to Persian patterns was strongly promoted. Many master weavers were recruited from Persia to produce the finest and finest quality rugs in the imperial factories. The influence of their origins can still be found in Indian rugs today. Many Indian rugs are named after their Iranian origins. Famous examples are the Indian Bidjar rug, the Indian Gabbeh rug and the Indian Herati rug, often named with the addition of Indo Gabbeh or Indo Bidjar. The most famous Persian rugs, which are also woven in India, are:

Indo Bidjar rug / Indo Herati – Indo Bijar rug is the most durable and robust Indian rug. The pile of the Indo Bidjar rug is approximately 15 mm high and is velvety soft. There are different qualities, but we offer only the best Indian Bidjar rugs.

Indian Gabbeh rug – Gabbeh rugs from India are high quality and popular. They are usually slightly flatter in pile than Persian ones. Gabbeh rugs from India are knotted in many different qualities, but we only offer fine to very fine knots. Therefore, you can be sure that our Indian Gabbeh rug will retain its beauty for a long time.

High quality Indian rugs are sturdy and durable. Indian rugs have been known for their quality and beauty for many decades. This rug is especially appreciated by families as it combines coziness, durability and sturdiness. Indian rug is suitable for living rooms with a lot of foot traffic and can easily withstand everyday wear and tear.

Modern Indian rugs have exotic and creative design variations. Designer rugs from India are already inspiring with innovative designs and novel colour combinations. Indian designer rugs are known worldwide for their revolutionary and futuristic look. These hand knotted modern rugs are also exceptionally well crafted. A high-quality blend of silk and virgin wool is often used in the pile of the rug. The demand for these rugs has grown so much in recent years that the production of these modern rugs has barely kept pace. Each of these hand knotted Indian rugs has an individual colour and pattern and therefore has a unique look and character.

Why and how to clean Indian rugs

We know why it’s important to have Indian rugs professionally cleaned by a rug cleaning company. Normal home rug care mainly involves vacuuming and occasional hand cleaning. However, these methods are not sufficient to thoroughly remove all the dirt and allergens that settle deep in the rug fibers. A professional Indian rug cleaning company can clean your rugs so that they look like new, while extending their life and performing a deep disinfection with UV irradiation and a “BIO-OZON” vacuum machine, all without the need for chemicals.

Deep removal of dirt and allergens by UV radiation and ozonation

Dust, dust mites and other allergens can hide deep in the rug and cause health problems, especially allergies and asthma. Conventional vacuuming only removes surface dirt but does not reach deep into the fibres. Indian rug cleaning uses special technologies that penetrate deep into the rug and remove even the smallest particles of dust, dirt and allergens. This improves the air quality in your home.

Removing stubborn stains and unpleasant odours with ozone

Rugs can easily suck up liquids and odors that build up over time and cause unpleasant smells. Professional cleaners use strong but gentle cleaning agents that will remove even stubborn stains from wine, coffee or pets without damaging the material. Stains that you don’t remove at home can penetrate deeper into the fibers over time, which can cause permanent damage to the rug.

Extend the life of your rug with impregnation and lanolin

Indian rugs are often an expensive investment, whether it’s a hand-woven piece rug or a modern designer piece. Regular professional cleaning extends the life of a rug by preventing the build-up of dirt that can damage its fibres. An Indian rug cleaning company will take care of your rug with care to make it last as long as possible.

Indian rug cleaner and technical information

Indian rugs are made from different types of fibers that have specific characteristics and require different cleaning methods. Our Indian rug cleaning company is experienced in cleaning all common types of Indian rugs.

Overview of Indian rug cleaning services

Before commencing the cleaning procedure, rug repair or restoration of rugs and fringes is arranged if required. If your rug has suffered damage, for example, due to wear, tear or loss of colour, Indian rug cleaners can offer repair and restoration services. Experienced professionals can repair damaged fibers, re-dye faded areas or restore the rug’s texture. These services are especially valuable for expensive or Indian rugs that have a high value.

Phase 1 > mechanical brushing and knocking with the KIRBY® & HYLA® machine system. Tapping with a fine rotary brush loosens coarse mechanical dirt trampled deep into the rug fibre. The rug is ready for the next knocking process with the electric knocker, which aims to open and fluff the rug fibre. The whole process serves to loosen dust, hair, dried mud and dirt in the warp.

Phase 2 > chemical gentle cleaning – enzymatic/foam pre-spraying releases water soluble or dry foam soils. Enzymes will also remove contaminants that subsequent steps may not always release including removing grease and grime and releasing encapsulated odors.

Phase 3 > manual or machine cleaning combined with bath and soak of the rug. This is always determined by the type of rug and the soiling of the rug, so as to avoid deterioration and achieve the maximum possible cleaning result. Indian Rug Cleaners offers a special cleaning method to revive the colours and bring back the original beauty of your rug. This service is ideal for rugs that are located in areas with direct sunlight or are exposed to frequent use.

Phase 4 > for Indian rugs, a nourishing application of natural lanolin is used to restore the natural properties of the fibre and fabric. Lanolin regeneration brings revival to the fibre and also brings protection to the rug from adverse external influences. The rug will show no signs of fraying, will not break, will gain a brighter colour and will feel soft and nourished to the touch.

Phase 5 > of rug drying is quite crucial. Although the final disinfection and antibacterial treatment with ozone (O₃) is the most effective possible, as (O₃) is a powerful oxidant that effectively kills bacteria, viruses, moulds and odours and is therefore used by our company for the final disinfection of surfaces and textiles, thorough drying is important. This is because moisture can affect the effectiveness of the final antibacterial treatment and the disinfecting efficacy of both chemical and ozonation.

Residual moisture can still linger in materials after chemical or ozone disinfection, which continues to promote mold growth and possible bacterial proliferation. Therefore, at our dry cleaners, we consider it important to thoroughly re-dry materials after ozonation or chemical disinfection to prevent the re-growth of microorganisms.

Drying rugs and getting them thoroughly dry is the absolute key in terms of expertly executed Indian rug maintenance. Our company uses the AeroFlow® accumulated/radiant heat technology system from Thermotec AG. Contact drying with uniform drying of rugs relies on the AeroFlow® technology, which efficiently transfers heat to the fabric and fibers through integrated fireclay heating plates that distribute the accumulated heat deep into the surface of the material for the required period of time via the built-in thermostat with FlexiSmart temperature and humidity sensor.

Drying rugs with the AeroFlow® system is therefore based on the proportional flow and radiation of heat to ensure fast and even drying of the rug. Thanks to the lower airflow velocity and low surface temperature of the heating plate, dust is not blown away and the rugs dry evenly. The independent VDE institute has verified that only quality materials meeting the certification criteria are used for the product “Thermotec storage heaters” and awards the products the VDE GS label.

Phase 6 > disinfection and odour removal, as rugs can absorb odours over time, especially when exposed to moisture, pets or spilled liquids. Professional cleaners offer disinfection and odor neutralization services that will remove even the most stubborn odors and leave your rug fresh and smelling good. The antibacterial treatment is done by deep disinfection with UV irradiation and ozone vacuum machine “BIO-OZON”, all without the need for chemicals with the highest possible efficiency in terms of removing mites, viruses, bacteria, odors and mold.

Phase 7 > application of protective impregnation including deodorization of the fibre after disinfection with ozone and UV. After cleaning – drying – disinfection, application of a special protective agent that repels dirt and stains from the British company PROCHEM® is recommended. These agents form an invisible protective layer that prevents liquids from penetrating the rug fibres. This will make your rug better able to resist soiling and easier to maintain.

How often should you use the services of an Indian rug cleaner?

The frequency of professional rug cleaning depends on several factors, including the type of rug, its level of use and location. It is generally recommended to have your rugs professionally cleaned at least once a year. In homes with high dust levels, pets or young children, it is advisable to clean rugs more frequently, for example every 6 months.

Rug cleaning in households with allergies

If someone in your household suffers from allergies, it may be advisable to have the rugs cleaned even more frequently to minimise the presence of allergens such as dust, pollen and dust mites. Regular professional cleaning can go a long way in improving air quality and alleviating allergies.

Households with pets

Pets can leave hair, dirt and unpleasant odors on rugs. Indian Rug Cleaners offers special services for households with pets that include removal of pet hair, stains and odors associated with pets. It is recommended to have your rugs cleaned at least twice a year if you have a dog, cat or other pets in your home.
